Chrome lasts as long as the quality of the steel preparation before plating was impecable and until the first time you scratch the chrome beneath the depth of the plating by brushing the wheel against the kerb for instance. Once the rust starts its a replating job to make it look good again. Chrome plating can also be porus which means it lets the water through to the steel and once this happens deterioration starts.
